Whilst HouseSimple.com are proud to show it's professionalism, good service and achievements, this type of saving and price achievement way above the High Street Agents valuation happens day in day out. (Our statistics show we sell faster, 22 days vs 65 days, and for greater value than High Street Agents 98% vs 96% of asking price.

How to Sell Your Home

Estimates suggest that by the end of the decade half of us could be selling a property online, saving thousands of pounds worth of estate agents fees in the process and doing away with the need for pushy estate agents. With the huge surge of interest around selling your own house it comes as no surprise that the home of property television programmes, Channel 4, is broadcasting a new series dedicated to exploring what happens when everyday people have to balance their regular life with being a temporary estate agent.

Sarah Beeny’s How to Sell Your Home begins airing weekly on C4 from Monday October 20 at 20.30 for six weeks, and Housesimple is delighted that a number of properties sold through our service are featured throughout the series. The programme promises to be essential viewing for anyone interested in selling a home online, as it shows some of the common hurdles that need to be cleared for a successful property selling experience.

How easy is selling your home?

While the Channel 4 television show understandably makes the most of the drama that can accompany not using an estate agent, statistics suggest that selling your own home is actually surprisingly straightforward. 85% of properties listed are successfully sold (as opposed to 70% for high street agents), and on average achieve 98% of asking price.
